ON THE ROAD

Turnpike: The Pennsylvania Turnpike projects two peak travel times for the holiday: 3 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday. Officials estimate 2.1 million cars will travel on the turnpike through Sunday.

511: Dial 511 to find out about delays caused by accidents, heavy traffic, or bad weather.

IN THE AIR

The Sunday after Thanksgiving is usually the busiest day of the weekend, but officials at Harrisburg International Airport say Monday is shaping up to be the busiest day. If you’re flying out of HIA, get to the airport 90 minutes before your flight. Flying out of Baltimore or Philadelphia? Get there at least two hours before you fly.
